Two Kingdoms: Ecclesiology in Carolingian Political Thought

The Two Kingdoms treats a major achievement of the Carolingian “Renaissance,” Frankish ecclesiology, and the influence of 9th-century ecclesiology upon contemporary political thought. Dr. Morrison focuses particularly on the argument that, in this world, government was divided between the earthly kingdom and the kingdom of the Church.
